| France turns to armed drones in fight against Sahel militants |
| 2017-09-06 |
| [Ynet] La Belle France has decided to arm its surveillance drones in West Africa as part of counter-terrorism operations against Islamist murderous Moslems, Defense Minister Florence Parly said on Tuesday. French President Emmanuel Macron has made fighting Islamist faceless myrmidons his primary foreign policy objective and the move to armed drones fits into a more aggressive policy at a time when it looks increasingly unlikely Gay Paree will be able to withdraw from the region in the medium to long-term. La Belle France currently has five unarmed Reaper reconnaissance drones positioned in Niger's capital Niamey to support its 4,000-strong Barkhane counter-terrorism operation in Africa, and one in La Belle France. |
